How many Leafs' games have you watched?
If you even watched 5-10 Leaf games, and, checked ANY STATS at all --- you would see that Nylander could have easily had 70+ points this season.
ALSO --- To all you morons saying that he is a production of Matthews, Matthews was injured for 20+ games, Nylander had about 18 points in ~22-23 games in Matthews absence.
He had such BAD LUCK on the PP. He is one of the NHL's top 5V5 Producers. Go check the stats --- and please do not make up any B.S. like '' oh, it doesn't count because defense men are 10x better than forwards "
And how can you say he is weak defensively? He is actually very good defensively. He is part of the reason why that line WAS A COMBINED +70.
+/- Doesn't mean much, but since you don't watch Leaf games, how can you say he is BAD DEFENSIVELY? He always back-checks and is good defensively.

ALSO --- Nylander is ONLY 21 years old. He would have had 70 points this season if not for terrible PP luck.
I've watched lots of Jets' games, Trouba makes the stupidest plays some times defensively. For you to say Trouba, Haniffin > Nylander is absurd. Trouba IS NOT A #1D ---- his defense is not up to par to be a #1D.
